THE FIRST INSTALMENTS OF FOUR THRILLING DETECTIVE SERIES BROUGHT TOGETHER IN ONE MASSIVE SET…

BOOK 1: The Darkest Lies

DETECTIVE JOE HOGARTH IS CALLED TO A MURDER AT A SEASIDE NIGHTCLUB. HE SOON UNCOVERS A SINISTER SECRET... BUT HOGARTH HAS A SECRET OF HIS OWN - AND THE PRESSURE IS STARTING TO SHOW...

No one saw the killer strike, but a young man was seen leaving the club moments before the attack. The young man has no clear motive but Hogarth can’t let go of his suspicions. He decides to track down the youth… and discovers the motive for murder is far older, and far darker than he imagined.

A dead man reappears as the darkest lies of two generations are exposed. One cop takes justice into her hands but another may pay the ultimate price.


BOOK 2: The Secret Fear

DETECTIVE JOE HOGARTH IS CALLED TO A BRUTAL MURDER AT A TURKISH TAKEAWAY. THE TELL-TALE MARK OF A ONCE NOTORIOUS LONDON CRIME FAMILY IS FOUND ON THE VICTIM’S BODY. HOGARTH FEARS THE NEW CASE COULD OPEN A PANDORA'S BOX, BUT HE HAS NO CHOICE.
HOGARTH MUST FIND THE KILLER AND TAKE ON THE DEADLIEST RISKS.

Murdered kebab shop owner Baba Sen was beloved by his clientele. Sen gave alms to charity, food to the poor and a smile to all of his customers. It seems no one had reason to kill him, yet his murder was brutal and relentless. Hogarth finds elaborate clues and deceptions all around. The motive for Sen’s murder could be the feud between rival Turkish families. But Hogarth senses a greater threat… and when the name of Atacan appears, his worst fears are realised.

The Atacans were notorious criminals, leading a crime syndicate which dominated nineties London, but they were eventually destroyed by the gangs who replaced them. Yet now the Atacan name returns to Hogarth’s life – in the shape of an ex-girlfriend and in the signature found at Baba Sen’s murder. The Atacans were supposed to be dead and buried - but not anymore. Now Hogarth must hope he is the only one caught in the crosshairs…


BOOK 3: The Poison Path

A BODY IS FOUND ON THE BEACH BENEATH THE PIER. THE VICTIM'S HISTORY SUGGESTS HE DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH. BUT CLUES IN THE POSITION OF HIS BODY AND THE PATTERNS IN THE SAND TELL ANOTHER STORY.


Actor Gareth Manning could have died from a suicidal booze binge – but DI Hogarth isn’t convinced. Shortly before the man died, Manning took on one last role to prove his critics wrong. Why would Manning drink himself to death before his final shot at redemption? And if this was murder, who had reason to wish him dead?

Detective Inspector Joe Hogarth and DS Palmer must work through layers of lies… and the deeper they delve, the murkier it gets.

Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Ruth Rendell, Helen Durrant, Joy Ellis and LJ Ross. If you love to read gripping detective thrillers with flawed characters and police procedurals with shocking twists and a noir flavour, then the DI Hogarth series is for you.

BOOK 4: The Deadly KissDI Hogarth is on the hunt. But the DI is not the only one looking for prey…

DETECTIVE JOE HOGARTH IS ON THE HUNT FOR A KILLER WHO STOLE THE LIFE OF A YOUNG CHRISTIAN GIRL. IT’S TWO WEEKS SINCE THE YOUNG WOMAN'S BODY WAS LEFT ABANDONED IN A BEACH HUT. EVIDENCE IS SLIM, LEADS ARE EXHAUSTED AND DI HOGARTH IS FEELING THE STRAIN... BUT THE MURDER OF YOUNG HELEN BRIMELOW ISN’T THE ONLY CRIME TROUBLING HOGARTH. A WELL-CONNECTED MAN CALLED SIMON DRAWTON HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH FAR MORE THAN HE SHOULD.

COULD IT BE THAT DRAWTON HAS STRUCK AGAIN?

HOGARTH SUSPECTS SO. AND HOGARTH IS DETERMINED THAT HE WON'T GET WAY WITH IT...
